   C. ὕπαγον
   D. ἥπαγον

   
   

3. In ὑπῆρχον (from ὑπάρχω, ὑπο + ἄρχω), there is a circumflex over the penult because
   
   A. a long penult must always have a circumflex
   B. the accent does not precede the augment in a compound verb, and in this particular verb, the long penult and short ultima require a circumflex if the penult is accented.
   C. A circumflex accent mark is used to indicate that a preposition has lost its final vowel in a compound verb.
   

SECTION D -- Condition Contrary to Fact

1. εἰ αὐτοὶ ἦσαν δίκαιοι, τοὺς λόγους αὐτῶν ἂν ἤκουον οἱ ἁμαρτωλοί.
   
   A. In this sentence, αὐτοί is in the attributive position and means "same".
   B. In this sentence, αὐτοί is nominative and intensifies the subject of the verb.
   
   
   
2. εἰ αὐτοὶ ἦσαν δίκαιοι, τοὺς λόγους αὐτῶν ἂν ἤκουον οἱ ἁμαρτωλοί.
   
   A. ἤκουον is a masculine accusative singular noun of the 2nd declension.
   B. ἤκουον is a neuter singular noun of the 2nd declension, and may be either nominative or accusative.
   C. ἤκουον is an imperfect active indicative verb.
   
   
   
3. εἰ αὐτοὶ ἦσαν δίκαιοι, τοὺς λόγους αὐτῶν ἂν ἤκουον οἱ ἁμαρτωλοί.
   
   A. οἱ ἁμαρτωλοί modifies the noun ἤκουον.
   B. There is no explicit noun modified by οἱ ἁμαρτωλοί, and therefore ἁμαρτωλοί should be translated as a substantive.
   
   
   
4. εἰ αὐτοὶ ἦσαν δίκαιοι, τοὺς λόγους αὐτῶν ἂν ἤκουον οἱ ἁμαρτωλοί.
   
   A. The nominative οἱ ἁμαρτωλοί must be the subject in the apodosis, and because it is plural, the verb in the apodosis must be translated as a 3rd person plural.
   B. The verb in the apodosis must be translated as a 1st person singular because it ends in -ον.
   
   
5. Choose the BEST English translation of this sentence: εἰ αὐτοὶ ἦσαν δίκαιοι, τοὺς λόγους αὐτῶν ἂν ἤκουον οἱ ἁμαρτωλοί.
